On Tuesday 5th November, Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School hosted Anti-Bullying Ambassador training, led by the Diana Award. The Diana Award is a charity legacy to Diana, Princess of Wales’ belief that young people have the power to change the world for the better.
Alex Holmes – Deputy CEO of the Diana’s Award came up with the idea to train Anti-Bullying Ambassadors in schools to encourage young people to stand together against bullying. Bullying is not a normal part of life, and there is nothing that is character building about it. The training provided them with insight into the impact of bullying and why it is some important for them to wear their badges, take a stand and be the best Anti-Bullying Ambassadors that they can be.
The training also provided them with lots of inspiration, top tips and practical ideas they need to prevent bullying and ensure that everyone feels safe and happy in their school.
10 schools from around Cheshire were invited, including Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School, who each took part in the training. Head of Year Miss Hayes commented “The students and staff from attending schools gave such positive feedback and were raring to get back to their schools with fresh ideas to stamp out bullying in their schools.”
